EAST COAST WAVEKITING GROUNDSWELL IS A COMIN"!

It's currently 15 to 18. This is the first day that I have woken up to wind here in 3 months. Odds of it getting stronger are high because it usually builds through the afternoon.

Waves are big, just checked them out on the way in.
Wish you could have stayed, Raul and Lori. Today looks good for a downwinder.

scott, id better see some pictures of what im missing

Maybe I can buy one of those cheap waterproof cameras from Eckerd drugs and try to take pictures while riding. I am not gonna get out until about 6pm myself today :x

Daryl and I (I hope) will hop on a 12m RRD Hyper-type and an Atom (Flexi) and try them out later.

Bruce is gonna ride with some local guys during the day. Today is definitely downwinder in the waves material. Worth skipping work and making a drive.

Wow that was alot of fun. Definetly worth the trip and really beautiful beaches. Felt great to get out of the warm bay and hanging around the home doing house chores.

Wish we were there today to join everybody for some more kiting. Hope you all have a great time-Thanks Scott and Donnna for showing us the spots we had a blast 8)

Lori

Dr. Bruce and Philthy are out right now.

A little summary on the last few days here-- (if anyone cares)

Bruce got to ride alot for two days.
Phil is basically dead from two days straight of waves and inlet riding......
Rob Hassle showed up and rode.
It was fun to see him and Phil and joke with Rob about how he use to be 8th in the world (for real) back when there were 9 riders worldwide.

Bruce's doctor friends have basically been learning to kite for 3 days straight with just snack breaks and Dale has them up and going (and needs some sleep).

It blew 15+ each afternoon since Sat. with the tide ripping out at the inlet.
Waves were exceptional today (I hear, I was stuck in here). I just got off the phone with a guy so stoked it sounded like he got $%% for the first time or sumtin 8) . Good stuff.

Anyone considering a road trip should consider S.A.
Especially if you like downwinders in waves.

Danny, I made a video. It's decent. Hopefully Eddie will get it on the internet today.

I went to the E coast last Sunday am and got some nice waist-chest surf. I had to work all week, but headed back to Melbourne Beach early this am. Surf was head high and clean for a couple hours. High tide drowned it out to fun waist high sets. Once the onshore wind picked up, it was just big and mushy. I put up my kite and got worked in the surf/ straight onshore wind for a couple hours. It's a whole different experience trying to ride through that slop. Over all, a good storm for me, just wish I could have been there Thursday for the clean 8 foot surf!!! :lol:
